I'm trying to reverse bleed my clutch to make sure I don't have air in the system but can seem to get fluid to go up into the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder.
I had an oil can with brake fluid connected to the slave (which is out of the transmission but connected with the fluid line). I put a ruler in the brake reservoir to be able to tell if the fluid level goes up, pumped away with the oil can and nothing at all. It's almost like the oil can isn't strong enough to pump the fluid up. At one point I got a little bubble in the clear tube to the slave from the connection and could see it wasn't moving. I tried it with the clutch pedal fully up as well as an inch or so depressed, no luck either way. There isn't a check valve in the master or something is there? What am I doing wrong? Tomorrow I'm thinking of connecting the air compressor at like 20 lbs to a sealed cup with brake fluid and a tube dropped into it to see if that can force it up in there.
